Installation & Operating
Instructions
~ 2 ~
Congratulations on your purchase of a Garden Series quality pressure pump or water pressure system. All components
have been designed and manufactured to give trouble free, reliable operation.
Before installing your new pump, please read all instructions carefully as failures caused by incorrect installation or
operation are not covered by the guarantee. Your Garden Series Jet Pump is designed to handle clean water. The pump
should not be used for any other purpose without specic referral to Davey. The use of the pump to handle ammable,
corrosive and other materials of a hazardous nature is specically excluded.

Choosing a Site
Choose a site with a rm base and as close to the water source as possible with
correct power supply. Make sure your pump is always connected to an adequate,
reliable source of clean water.
Housing your Garden Series Jet Pump
To protect your pump from the weather, make sure the cover provided is water proof,
frost free and has adequate ventilation.
The pump should be horizontally mounted on a rm base allowing for drainage, to
avoid damage to ooring etc., that over time may occur from leaking pipe joints or
pump seals. Do not mount the pump vertically.
WARNING: Some insects, such as small ants, nd electrical devices attractive for various reasons. If your pump
enclosure is susceptible to insect infestation you should implement a suitable pest control plan.

Power Connection
The pump motor is tted with an earthed three pin plug & lead.
The installer is responsible for the correct connection of the electrical supply to the pump motor.
• Make sure the supply voltage and frequency is the same as the nameplate.
• Make sure that there is a sound earth connection available.
In accordance with AS/NZS 60335.2.41 we are obliged to inform you that this pump is not to be used by children or inrm
persons and must not be used as a toy by children.
EARTH CONNECTION
The pump power lead includes an earth pin on the plug, which MUST be correctly connected to a suitable earth
on the electrical supply.
POWER CONNECTION
Connect lead to power supply designated on pump label. Do not use long extension leads as they cause
substantial voltage drop, poor pump performance and may cause motor overload.
Electrical Power Surge Protection
An electrical power surge or spike can travel on the supply lines and cause serious damage to your electrical equipment.
The controller tted to this pump has a metal oxide varistor (MOV) tted to help protect it’s circuit. This MOV is a
“sacricial” device, meaning that it effectively gradually destroys itself every time it takes a surge. The MOV is not a
lightning arrestor and may not protect the controller if lightning or a very powerful surge hits the pump unit.
If the installation is subject to electrical power surges or lightning we strongly recommend the use of a suitable surge
protection device on ALL electrical equipment.
Pipe Connections
For best performance use P.V.C. or polythene pipes at least the same diameter as the pumps inlet and delivery outlet
openings. Larger diameter pipe may be used to minimise resistance to ow when pumping longer distances.
Use unions as pipe connections to enable easy removal and servicing. Use sufcient tape to ensure airtight seal and
hand tighten only. To prevent strain on pump threads always support heavy inlet and outlet pipes. If there is a likelihood
the water supply may contain solid particles such as pieces of plant or vegetable matter, a suction strainer should be
installed before the pump to avoid blocking of the pump. Lay suction pipe at a constant gradient to avoid air pockets
which reduce pump efciency.
It is possible with some specic garden hose connections, to block off the discharge of the pressure controller, if the
garden hose adapter is tted directly onto the controller. If user intends to use this specic tting directly onto the
controller, Davey recommends using a threaded spacer (available from most irrigation and hardware stores). This will
ensure the tap tting’s gasket doesn’t block the discharge of the controller.

Threaded spacer
NOTE - Suction leaks are the largest cause of poor pump performance and are difcult to detect. Ensure all
connections are completely sealed USING THREAD TAPE ONLY.

Installations with a Suction Lift
Installations with a suction lift require a good quality foot valve to avoid loss of prime.
Installations with Flooded Suction
Installations with ooded suction require a gate valve so water supply can be turned off for pump removal and servicing.
WARNING
DO NOT RUN DRY.
DO NOT RUN WITHOUT WATER.
DO NOT PUMP WATER CONTAINING ABRASIVE MATERIALS.
Abrasive Materials
The pumping of abrasive materials will cause damage to the pump which will then not be covered by the guarantee.
Water temperature in pump must not exceed 45
o
C, or damage caused will not be covered by guarantee.
Connection of Mains Scheme or Town Water Supply to either Suction or
Discharge of Pump
Most Water Supply Authorities have strict regulations regarding
direct connection of pumps to mains water supplies. In most
cases an isolating tank is required between mains supply and
pump. This is also the recommend method for this pump.
Directly applied mains pressure can exceed pump operating
pressure and damage pump.
Davey Products Pty Ltd can not accept
responsibility for loss or damage resulting from
incorrect or unauthorised installations.
NOTE - If connecting your SJ Jet Pump direct to mains water, the casing pressure (maximum outlet pressure)
must not exceed 600kPa (6bar/87psi).

Priming and Operation
SJ35-04 Manual Pump
1. Fill pump and suction line through the pump discharge or priming port (on ooded suction, simply open
gate valve to pump).
2. Ensure outlet nearest to pump is open.
3. Ensure all valves in suction line are open and switch on pump at power outlet.
4. Prime should establish almost immediately and a strong ow of water should be evident from
the outlet. Allow water to ow for 10-20 seconds to expel air then close outlet and switch off
pump.
5. If no ow is evident from tap, switch off at power point and repeat from step 1 ensuring there is an
adequate supply of water available to the pump.
SJ35-04 PC & SJ60-08PC Automatic Water Pressure System
1. Fill pump and suction line through the pump discharge or priming port (on ooded suction, simply open
gate valve to pump).
2. Ensure outlet nearest to pump is open.
3. Ensure all valves in suction line are open and switch on pump at power outlet. The green ‘Power On’
led will light up on the controller. There will be a delay of a few seconds before the pump starts and the
yellow ‘Pump On’ led will light up.
4. Prime should establish almost immediately and a strong ow of water should be evident from
the outlet. Allow water to ow for 10-20 seconds to expel air then close outlet. Pump will
switch off shortly after and wait in standby until a drop in pressure initiates a pump start.
5. If the pump fails to deliver water to the tap, the device will stop the pump. The red led will
display. Press the Restart button until the red led turns off and water is delivered to the open tap.
6. If no ow is evident from tap, switch off at power point and repeat from step 1 ensuring there is an
adequate supply of water available to the pump.
7. If the pump does not automatically restart on re-opening of tap, consult trouble shooting guide.
Your SJ35-04PC & SJ60-08PC pump is tted with a controller. This device will automatically stop and start your pump,
depending on ow demand.

C) in pump enclosure.
During servicing, use only approved, non-petrochemical based oring and gasket lubrication. If unsure, consult
your Davey Dealer for advice.
Care should also be taken when servicing or disassembling pump to avoid possible injury from hot
pressurised water. Unplug pump, relieve pressure by opening a tap on the discharge side of the pump and
allow any hot water in pump to cool before attempting to dismantle.
WARNING - When servicing or attending pump, always ensure power is switched off and lead unplugged.
Electrical connections should be serviced only by qualied persons.
